you have seen papa john's take a hit. if they continue down this path, there's going to be organized boycotts to hurt business and bottom line as well. the question is about a $5 to $8 million cost for a company with operating expenses of $1.3 billion. so it's minuscule. he's trying to make a political point. for instance, there's minimum wage requirements. and this is what the obama care is about. if you have 50 employees, you're required to pay for their health care coverage or pay a penalty. papa john's can pay the penalty. but he's making a political point. because he doesn't have to make this decision for another year. the law takes place in 2014. if he's trying to do it right after the election as a try of making a point. >> president obama is meeting with business leaders on wednesday. do you think this is going to come up? this pushback against obama care? >> sure. we got a hint of how this is playing out when john boehner told abc that it's now the law of the land. for some reason, republicans are still invested

gentlemen, we were just hearing about tax talk from the president and from john boehner. we've been talking a lot about tax rates. it seems that's dominating the conversation. what about spending? aren't we talking about a very small number in terms of revenue that you can actually get from the so-called wealthy, more than $250,000? in the overall scheme of things, is that going to move the needle on our debt? shouldn't we also be talking about spending cuts? >> we're talking about getting between between 80 and $100 billion a year, which is no small number from revenue with when you consider the fact we have a $1.1 trillion deficit, that's not going to solve our problem. we must also reduce spending if we're going to put our fiscal house in order. >> senator? >> people are always saying, what should we cut? what spending would you like to cut? they say waste, fraud, and abuse. all earmarks, foreign aid, nancy pelosi's aircraft, all compensation for congress. that's nothing. that's about 4% of where we are. you get spending cuts by going into the entitlements programs. th
